Amino acid analyses of haemolymph of Glossina morsitans morsitans (Westwood).
Haemolymph from pupae and adult G. morsitans was analysed for its content of free amino acids. Of the twenty-one amino acids identified proline occurred in the greatest concentration in the 3 stages tested. Substantial amounts of taurine, glutamine, glutamic acid, alanine, tyrosine and arginine were also measured. There was considerable variation in the content of amino acids in the 3 stages of...
متن کاملVariations in the Peritrophic Matrix Composition of Heparan Sulphate from the Tsetse Fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans
Tsetse flies are the principal insect vectors of African trypanosomes-sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. One of the tsetse fly species, Glossina morsitans morsitans, is host to the parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, a major cause of African trypanosomiasis. Precise details of the life cycle have yet to be established, but the parasite life cycle involves crossing the insect peritrophi...
متن کاملHsp70/J-protein machinery from Glossina morsitans morsitans, vector of African trypanosomiasis
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are the sole vectors of the protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma, the causative agents of African Trypanosomiasis. Species of Glossina differ in vector competence and Glossina morsitans morsitans is associated with transmission of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which causes an acute and often fatal form of African Trypanosomiasis. Heat shock proteins are ev...
متن کاملResponses of Glossina pallidipes and Glossina morsitans morsitans tsetse flies to analogues of δ-octalactone and selected blends.
Previous studies have shown that δ-octalactone is an important component of the tsetse-refractory waterbuck (Kobus defassa) repellent odour blend. In the present study, structure-activity comparison was undertaken to determine the effects of the length of the side chain and ring size of the lactone on adult Glossina pallidipes and Glossina morsitans morsitans. The responses of the flies to each...
متن کاملAn enterokinase in the gut of pharate adult of Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood (Diptera: Glossinidae).
An enterokinase (Enteropeptidase, EC. 3.4.21.9) has been described in the pharate adult of Glossina mositans morsitans. The enzyme is present in pharate adults, 21 days after pupation. It activated commercial crystalline bovine trypsinogen to trypsin. It showed affinity for concanavalin A bound to sepharose and was reversibly sensitive to boiling at pH 6.0. The apparent molecular weight, as det...
